ABSTRACT:
Attachment for a binding (1) having straps and fitting a user's boot, the binding attached to a snow gliding or wake boarding device. Upon detachment of one end of each strap of the binding, the ends are attached to a spanning bar (11). A closing lever (10) is mounted to the spanning bar (12,14) to provide a preselected mechanical advantage. A front clip (30) having a niche rod (32) is mounted near the toe end of the binding (33), and a rear clip (20) having a latch (26) is mounted near the heel end. The closing lever is engaged with the niche rod (32) and then with the latch (26), moving the spanning bar downward and tightening the straps around the boot. The first insertion of the boot requires adjustment of the strap tension; subsequent insertions do not require further adjustment. The closing lever (10) is releasable from the latch, loosening the straps for boot removal. The latch may be fitted with a cable release and a safety lock (28) to prevent disengagement of the closing lever from the latch.
